The Mystery of Photometric Twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy
M. Pursiainen, C. Gutierrez, P. Wiseman +80
We present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves wh…
SN 2016gsd: An unusually luminous and linear type II supernova with high velocities
T. M. Reynolds, M. Fraser, S. Mattila +27
We present observations of the unusually luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2016gsd. With a peak absolute magnitude of V = 19.95 0.08, this object is one of the brightest Typ…
SN2018kzr: a rapidly declining transient from the destruction of a white dwarf
Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Ting-Wan Chen +31
We present SN2018kzr, the fastest declining supernova-like transient, second only to the kilonova, AT2017gfo. SN2018kzr is characterized by a peak magnitude of , peak…
Spectrophotometric templates for core collapse supernovae and their application in simulations of time-domain surveys
M. Vincenzi, M. Sullivan, R. E. Firth +5
The design and analysis of time-domain sky surveys requires the ability to simulate accurately realistic populations of core collapse supernova (SN) events. We present a set of spe…
On the Ca-strong 1991bg-like type Ia supernova 2016hnk: evidence for a Chandrasekhar-mass explosion
Lluís Galbany, Chris Ashall, Peter Hoeflich +46
We present a comprehensive dataset of optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of type~Ia supernova (SN) 2016hnk, combined with integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of it…
Signatures of Circumstellar Interaction in the Type IIL Supernova ASASSN-15oz
K. Azalee Bostroem, Stefano Valenti, Assaf Horesh +27
Hydrogen-rich, core-collapse supernovae are typically divided into four classes: IIP, IIL, IIn, and IIb. In general, interaction with circumstellar material is only considered for…
